Create a shallow that allows both ship and unit to pass

Post by Cocaine »

Hi all,

I seem to have a problem creating a land type thats called "shallow" that lets a ship pass and a unit walk across.. I was told this is possible so I created a river using the river took, connecting two bodies of water in my Risk Europe map, the black sea and the Mediterranean sea.. Now after i create this river I use the shallow tool, I get the shallow made but a ship still can't pass through it.. Am I just imaging that this is possible?

I think most of our map makers have had a go at this in the past and have not found it possible. I could be wrong but I don't think there is the same mechanic as in previous aoe games

Fine line to something great is a strange change.

Afaik @Rikikipu tried hard to do this but found it to be impossible.

It's one of those cool things from AoE2 I'd like to see saved in our game. In the most recent expansion they even allowed placing buildings on certain water textures!

Not that it would lead to good gameplay though, ships destroy land units in this game.

I thought the idea was that the land units would more easily fight the ships.
Pay more attention to detail.

Ships can back of when damaged, whereas on the shallows it wouldn't be that possible. Imagine Indochina crossings, for instance. But it's indeed pretty uneven, as ranged land units attack with their primary weapons — warships have 50% RR at least.

The pathing would be horrific. Two big ships can probably block the entire shallow.
